A high-contrast serif italic with sculpted, bracketed serifs and a pronounced diagonal axis. Curves transition from hairline joins to fuller stems, giving the letters a crisp, engraved rhythm. The italic slant is steady and moderately strong, with gently tapered terminals and occasional ball-like finishing on lowercases. Proportions feel traditional with a compact, readable x-height and clear differentiation in capitals and figures.
Works well for editorial typography—magazines, book interiors, and long-form reading where an italic voice is needed for emphasis. The contrast and crisp detailing also suit headlines, pull quotes, and refined marketing copy where a classic, elevated tone is desired.
The overall tone is classical and literary, with a polished, bookish elegance. Its sharp contrast and formal italic stance add a sense of ceremony and authority, suitable for sophisticated, tradition-leaning branding and publishing contexts.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast serif italic that brings a traditional, print-oriented sophistication to text. It aims to provide a clear italic companion for emphasis and hierarchy while preserving an elegant, authoritative texture on the page.
Capitals appear stately and slightly condensed in feel, while the lowercase shows lively italic construction with flowing joins and angled entry/exit strokes. Numerals share the same contrast and italic movement, helping mixed alphanumeric settings retain a consistent texture.
